16、山，筑坛祭岳，同行的司马迁在史记中记载了这次南巡活动“登礼潜之天柱山，号曰南岳”。到隋文帝开拓南疆，改封湖南衡山为南岳，从此天柱山就以“古南岳”传名后世。由此可见，天柱山是一座帝王山、万岁山。目前，天柱山分为三祖寺景区、马祖庵景区、主峰景区等八大景区。今天我们主要游览三祖寺景区和主峰景区。 各位，现在我们来到了三祖寺景区。此景区是天柱山人文景点最集中、文化品位最高的一个文化精品区。此刻我们所在的这半边街叫野寨街。野寨是“野人寨”的简称。这地方为何叫野人寨呢？相传很早以前这一带常有野人出没，伤人伤畜，当时的一位县令决心牺牲自己解救民众，他带上好酒好菜深入野人洞，陪野人喝酒，并令人用生铁水将洞口凝

17、住，和野人同归于尽了。这还有一说啊，在南宋末年，本地土豪刘源率十万义兵在天柱山抗元。他自号“刘野人”，在谷口扎的第一寨就叫“野人寨”。两种说法到底哪个更准确，相信各位游客心中必有自己的理解。 请大家继续前行，现在顺着我手指的方向，就可以看到我们的三祖寺了。三祖寺是中国禅宗三祖传经布法的场所，在中国佛教发展史上占有十分重要的地位，被国务院批准为全国汉族地区重点开放寺庙。接下来，我们去看看山谷流泉摩崖石刻。穿过这片竹林，各位可以看到“古潜阳十景”中的两景：山谷流泉和石中古洞。山谷流泉流经石牛洞，经西林桥下出谷口，流入潜河，全长近400米。在它的河谷中央及其两面崖壁上刻满了自唐代以来1200多年间的摩崖石刻300多方，至今还能辨认的有280多方。这些石刻呢，有诗、文、题记，书法艺术也是行、楷、篆、草都有。请各位看那块巨石像不像卧着的牛在饮水？再看这一旁酷似牛蹄脚印的天然石印，因此，这里形象的被称为“石牛古洞”。它是整个摩崖石刻最集中最精华的部分。 天柱山不仅是佛教名山，也是道教仙山。道经上把天下仙山福地划分为“三十六洞天，七十二福地”，指出天柱山是第十四洞天，五十七福地。谓“司命真君府在潜山。”那么相传大家眼前看到的这个神秘谷呢，就是神仙司命真君居住的神府。神秘谷全长450多米，在四周拔地而起的山峰形成的峡谷里，由无数大小石头堆叠成或大或小几百个花岗石洞，洞洞相连，忽
